AWS and GCP are two of the popular public cloud platforms. Although GCP gained momentum recently, AWS remains the dominant player in this market. Data is the backbone of all successful app deployments, analytics workflows, and machine learning practices. While migrating data between the clouds, you first need to understand the location where you will move the data for various use cases, the variety of data you are moving, and the available resources.

If you are dealing with a mammoth amount of data and need latency-free operations, AWS Outposts can fulfill most of your needs. It is one of the fastest-growing innovations and complements the implementation of emerging technologies like A.I. and machine learning.

Rackspace and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are the two most popular cloud hosting companies. Rackspace, founded in 1998, offers computing services such as virtual servers, cloud storage, and managed services. AWS came into existence much later in 2006 with services such as infrastructure facilities, server-less computing, and hosted Kubernetes to offer. 

The concept of DevOps is now popular owing to its importance in a cloud-based environment that involves automation for the testing and deployment of software builds. When development and operations teams are not able to communicate well with

IT world is full of various terminologies that are often related to each other. When it comes to digital transformation, DevOps and CloudOps are often touted as two essential ingredients to get much needed competitive advantage and offer differentiated services.

Even in this dynamic and rapidly evolving digital world, JavaScript has withstood the test of time and is here to last for long. Due to its efficiency and flexibility, it can be deployed both on the server-side and the client-side, and can be used for developing mobile and web applications. No doubt, it is one of the widely accepted programming languages.

In 2011, Xamarin—a software company now owned by Microsoft—created a framework for hybrid mobile applications with C#. What made this new framework differentiate itself from others is its simplicity in creating a single code base that works across multiple platforms. After this, many frameworks have been introduced on the market, including Ionic, ReactJS, React Native, and many more.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the top 2 cloud service providers with a combined market share of more than 50% of the total cloud market. If there aren’t financial constraints, these two are the obvious choices when opting for cloud services. However, choosing one of them can be tricky.

AWS was the first to offer Infrastructure as Code (IaC) via AWS CloudFormation as a part of AWS DevOps. It enables developers and systems administrators to easily create and manage a collection of related AWS resources. They can provision and update them in an orderly and predictable way. Developers can use AWS CloudFormation’s sample templates or create their own templates. The concept of IaC is as old as the practice of DevOps. There are many experts who argue that DevOps wouldn’t be possible without the use of IaC.

Before the concept of crowdfunding, the only way for the early stage startups and founders with new ideas was to approach angel investors to get seed funding or go for VC (Venture Capital). On the other hand, established businesses opt for IPO (Initial Public Offering) to raise a huge amount of capital.
